Hi there, wanted to share this with you:
I got it from a facebook group I am a member of, will people EVER learn NOT to feed sharks, Napoleon Fish or any other animal while diving/snorkling ?
I am afraid not
Dear Shark Divers,
CDWS can confirm that a woman died followed an attack from a shark which occured on the morning of Monday 1 June at St Johns Reef, Marsa Alam, Egypt
It seems that the victim aggravated the shark or presented it with food, which caused a change in the shark’s behaviour !!!
Here’s the Full Story:
Egypt’s Chamber of Diving and Water Sports (CDWS) can confirm that a woman died followed an attack from a shark which occurred on the morning of Monday 1 June at St Johns Reef in the southern Red Sea.
The French woman had been on a diving safari holiday on board the boat Lanotel when the incident took place. A number of boats were moored at a reef. A group of about 20 snorkellers was observing what is thought to be an oceanic white tip shark approximately 2.5 – 3m long The woman is reported to have moved away from the group and some distance from the reef then ducked dive down towards the shark. On surfacing she was bitten on the leg and was still in contact with the shark as she was pulled onto the boat. Once on the boat, the casualty lost consciousness and died soon after.
The boat returned to the Port of Hamata, where other members of the group were interviewed by police and statements were taken.
Shark feeding is a serious violation of Red Sea rules, and an act that can severely disturb the sensitive marine eco-system and behaviour of marine animals.

From the 10th of November till the 17th of November I had the pleasure of being on my 3rd Liveaboard in 2008 
This time we did a Sinai Classic trip. From Sharm el Sheikh, we went to Ras Mohammed, crossed Abu Nuhas, to dive the Ghiannis D and Carnatic, then back again to Thistlegorm, and the trip ended in the Strait of Tiran.
Here you can see the 5 danes doing this trip together, and Hans from Germany (the 3 other germans had left for the airport already).
From the left we have Hans, Allan, Lise, myself, Rune and Arne.
From page 2, you can see the gps tracks I logged on the trip (nearly all the trip is logges). 1 day per page.
The page is google map heavy, so might take a few moments to load. On the next trip i’ll set the log speed to less than 1 log every 5 sec, that is way to much for a boat going at 15 km/h.

I just found this video on youtube today, it shows a William Trubridge freediving the Arch at Blue Hole in Dahab.
It is simply amazing to watch it, I really envy the freedivers their freedom. In the beginning of the movie you can see the support tech divers, watch the amount of equipment they need.
Hopefully I’ll go to Dahab and do this dive using tech equipment, I have the education to do it, but never been to Dahab.
